VSA wont kick on unless your wheels start spinning, in which case you would already be sliding. So the fact that this happened to you while you were going up a hill is irrelevant. If your tires were slipping while you were going up the hill, then the VSA did its job.
In that case (if you truly believe VSA was at fault) then you could turn it off. But in 99% of other cases (during winter driving) its a nice added feature to have. I know it helped in a couple cases last winter for me when I was still learning how to drive stick.
